I disagree entirely. I think looking to sign a player such as Julius Peppers, Albert Haynesworth, or Nnamdi Asomugha is completely the opposite way that this franchise is heading. Parcells philosoph is to create deoth of the entire 53-man roster through free agency while finding some solid starters and building your superstars through the draft. Shelling that much money out to one player will not help our team in the long run. I'd rather us take care of our players such as Yeremiah Bell, Andre Goodman, and Vernon Carey first. Then take the approach we did last year. Karlos Dansby and Jason Brown are the two guys I want to target. Both are impact players and you could get both of them for half of what you would bay for Asomugha, Haynesworth, or Peppers. If I were Jeff Ireland this is what I would do...

Thanks man. Trust me I'd love to see Peppers ina Dolphins uniform but it's not practical. Another guy who bears watching is Chris Canty. he is a very good 3-4 Defensive End who Parcells drafted out of Virginia when he was with the Cowboys. they could cut Vonnie Holliday and save $3.5 mill and sign Canty. Giving us a rotation of Merling, Landford, and Canty. Damn!

I could definately see these things happening.
The draft is an impossible thing to predict but you definately hit on the key positions of need, that I'm sure will be addressed. I would like to see those players in a Fins uniform, but you never know who is going where.

The tackle market has sunk up pretty quick, I think Gross is resigned and the competant T's on off the board before we pick. I believe now resigning Carey is a priority.

Also believe Crowder is not.

I believe gaurd is also a priority because both of out starters are coming off major injuries.

Canty is a Parcells boy, and I don't doubt a Bobby Carpenter sniffing to be completely out of the question.

I just really like your analysis because you hit on the non big market players, and adressed the "non sexy" postions. That's how you build a franchise.

In psychology, Stockholm Syndrome is an apparently paradoxical psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. "[6]

Number one free agent acquisition would be Nnamdi Asomugha. The second one would be Bart Scott or Karlos Dansby. Other than that we should not sign anyone from free agency. I guess Albert Haynesworth would be awesome, but he would cost half our salary cap.

I'm guessing we don't sign any flashy big name in the F/A market, but perhaps trade (people or late picks) for a/some relatively unknown up and coming players. IF we even sniff at a big name F/A, it would have to be a spot that they know we can't draft anyone worthwhile this year. I'm guessing CB or FS, but I could be wrong.

Dansby is awesome but he will require a huge contract also. He has been a beast for a few years and will want to get paid. And if William Moore is there in the 2nd round and we dont take him Im finished with MIA. Moore is prob my favorite player in the draft and I hope he slips. He is another Ed Reed. But great job. That would be a great lineup. And i mentioned Jason Brown too. He would be a great C for us.I think I would go with Barden in the 3rd or Brandon Gibson Im not high on Robiskie.
